Looking at Xi Yao's delicate back, Chen Xiaobei felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his heart. He was utterly speechless.
She'd tossed aside all her hatred and tears for a single plate of braised fish. How is this in any way befitting of the Demon Realm Queen? Honestly, he was starting to think this Xi Yao was a fake Demon Realm Queen. She's just a foodie, through and through!
"Wow! It smells so good! This fish must be delicious!"
Xi Yao had already run over to Qiu Xingcai, her eyes shining as she reached for the braised fish. But the plate was held firmly in Qiu Xingcai's hands, so Xi Yao's lunge came up empty, and her small body tumbled to the ground.
"Ah! That hurts!"
Xi Yao's face twisted in pain. Ignoring her knees, she scrambled back up and limped after Qiu Xingcai.
"Xiaobei! This braised fish is fresh from the wok. It's still steaming! Come and eat!" Qiu Xingcai called out. Like a dutiful little wife, she handed the chopsticks to Chen Xiaobei.
